mcwilliams’ 1994 debut, “Take advantage of me”, was met with little acclaim. despite her obvious talent, critics accused mcwilliams of attempting to force a soul voice into an r&b format. while mcwilliams failed to make an impact on the charts, her soulful mastery of phrasing and delivery did not go unnoticed by industry insiders. shortly after the release of her album, brigette was asked to appear as part of the temporary group black women united. mcwilliams’ sophomore effort, “Too much woman” (1997) reflected the jazz-infused soul that is her birthright. it’s no wonder that, with so much attention paid to every aspect of her work, fans of the sultry songstress would have to wait eight years for her third release, “starlite lounge” (2005). heralded only by the uk release of the three new songs ep, mcwilliams released starlite lounge in 2005. http://www.divastation.com/brigette_mcwilliams/mcwilliams_bio.html |
